    Doug Bragg's name caught my attention while looking through the Louisiana Hayride show line ups. He started appearing on Hayride shows in 1956 and continued into 1960, that was 4 years of Hayride appearances. Since I was not familiar with his name, I dug a little deeper and made Doug Bragg our Unknown Legend feature for this episode.

    Oct 10 2022

    Today's featured guest on the Country Music Unknown Legends Podcast is not a person or a place, it is more of an event. A phenomenon. The Louisiana Hayride.
    It is possible you have heard the name, Louisiana Hayride, due to the recent popularity of the new Elvis movie. But it was more than just a show Elvis played at the beginning of his career. 
    For 12 years the Hayride impacted music far beyond its time of existence, the DNA of the Hayride still exists in artists today. And just think, it bordered on being forgotten in the 70's and early 80's. 
    Today we take a look at this the Hayride started and what made it a phenomenon.
